Kilronan House Activities

There are many different kinds of pursuits and activities in this part of Scotland which is not surprising given its location at the crossroads of The Lowlands and The Highlands. It benefits from cultural richness, historical significance and industrial past and yet still preserves wonderful open country rich in wildlife and beautiful scenery.

• Mountains and Glens provide some of the finest walking country in Scotland. From gentle strolls in the Hillfoots Glens to the more energetic climbs in the mountains of The Trossachs. There are a number of "Munros" (mountains over 3000 feet) within easy drive from Bridge of Allan including Ben Lomond, Ben More and Ben Vorlich. Some of the smaller peaks, although not reaching Munro status, reward the walker with spectacular views. Ben A'an overlooking Loch Katrine is only 1512 feet but the views are stunning. We keep a selection of maps and guides for the use of our guests during their stay.
